Examiner Kevin X Lu has allowed 248 of 324 decided applications (77%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kevin X Lu maintains a public record spanning 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 324 disposed applications, 248 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 77%. This figure represents decided applications—those allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending filings. The examiner's record aggregates activity across multiple art units within the technology center, pooling allowances and abandonments into a single overall metric of past dispositions.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across multiple art units into one allowance rate. This figure describes historical dispositions—applications already decided—and is not a prediction of outcomes on any specific pending application. The rate reflects past decisions across different subject areas within the technology center. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from the pooled figure.
These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines software engineering, and program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 250 decided applications with an interview and 72 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kevin X Lu has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 356 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
